Excellent Value!

I LOVE this TV! The features & quality are fantastic for the price. Picture quality is great - much better than other brands at twice the price. I'm impressed with Vizio TVs. If you're on a tight budget & looking for a top quality Smart TV, I highly recommend this model.

Kinda of a good TV

I bought this tv to game on and for the smart tv feature of casting my phone to the tv to watch movies. Well it does not appear to support the windows extend option completely. I can drag my mouse between laptop and tv screen but I can not get the game to launch on the tv screen and have Discord on my laptop. They are both are on the same device either laptop or tv screen. I replaced my sony tv with this one and everything worked just fine. Game on tv and discord on laptop. The vizio seems to have something wrong. When I got it the volume controls on the remote did not work. I talked to customer service and they told me to do a hard reset and sure enough the vol on the remote worked. They indicated it was a know problem but did not seem to be public knowledge. I suspect there is a s/w error but not enough folks have complained for them to fix it. So I gave the TV to my son and bought me a samsung smart tv which allows me to cast my phone to the tv and support my game on the tv and while discord in on my laptop. Bottom line if you want to game or use this tv to miracast your phone get a samsung. If all you want is a smart tv then this tv may scratch your itch. Not mine though.

Not a Smart TV

Bought this thinking it was a smart TV, but it's not. There is no access to the internet with this TV. They have it where you can connect streaming channnels/phone/computer, etc. through Smartcast. Unless the App is already on the TV, you cannot add it. Trust me.

Hello Useless, thank you for taking time to leave us your feedback on the TV. This TV absolutely is a Smart TV. This TV uses our SmartCast Platform which offers a host of built in apps, as well as support for Google's Chromecast, Apple's AirPlay 2, and voice support for SIRI, Google Home, and Alexa. You are not able to manually download additional apps, however new apps are added to the platform often. If you find there is an app you want to watch that is not on SmartCast you may be able to cast it using Chromecast or Apple AirPlay from your phone or mobile device. If you’d like any help taking advantage of all the options VIZIO has to enjoy your content, our customer service team would be happy to speak with you at 844-254-8087.

Great TV

Had the TV for 3 weeks now and I performs great and all the options for channels are awesome. Colors and clarity are what I was hoping for. WiFi connection works perfectly as long as spectrum doesn't go down (not the TV's fault). This is exactly what I was wanting and will purchase another in the future. Have always used Vizio tv's and the smart TVs option is great.

Great gaming TV!

The most impressive feature hand's down is it's fantastic resolution and relatively bright picture. The TV pairs easily to other media devices such as DVD and Blu-ray players, gaming consoles and surround sound systems through the eArc supported HDMI port enabling everything to be controlled with the TV's standard pack-in remote, however, connecting a Google Chromecast and/or Google Nest (hub) and using Google's Voice Assistant in order to control some of its features only partially worked and persistent use seems to cause it to glitch and prompt you to reboot it. The picture/resolution are stellar and playing my PS4 Pro with the HDR+ enabled is certainly the highlight of my day. The built-in Pro Gaming feature makes a major improvement in fast-paced action heavy games like God of War and Far Cry 5 smooth Pro Gaming and the Dolby Vision adds an unparalleled level of vibrant color quality and contrast, especially when viewing 4k content.

Not What I expected

I've had this 4k Smart TV for about 4 months now and must say I'm impressed with some aspects and not so much with others. Watching TV it has an amazing, sharp, detailed picture. The Dolby sound through my soundbar is also above average. But for movies and other videos, whether from Netflix, Blu Ray player, YouTube, etc., the picture is sometimes unwatchable. I admit it was in someway my own fault for believing the ads about the "effective refresh rate" being 120 hz. The TV refresh rate is 60 Hz period. If I play with the picture on the menu I can sometimes get a somewhat better picture though it is still fuzzy. And that is very disappointing. Always check the specs. The refresh rate listed there is the native refresh rate of the device and no amount of supposed electronic enhancing will make it anything else. So look for 120 Hz for the motion or refresh rate in the specs. Anything less will disappoint. So for me, TV picture-excellent, sound-very good, movies-not what I expected.

Gorgeous picture

I've had the tv a few weeks now, I use it to stream and play games on an Xbox One. Good gaming engine, low latency, clear snappy colors. The remote is easy to use and I like the dedicated streaming buttons on the top. The only con is I thought it would be a little louder. I have hearing loss and sometimes I have to turn it up really high when watching TV. The games are for some reason much louder on it idk why. It is no biggie though next paycheck I'm going to go back and get the sound bar lol.

Great TV to cut the cord with

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the third Vizio tv I've owned. The first is a VX42LHDTV10A I bought in 2000. Twenty three years later it's still going strong. The second one is XVT373SV I bought in 2005 and it still works great. The third is a V505-H9 paired with a V21 sound bar. The streaming apps are great. Especially the stream for free ones that Vizio provides. All the tvs have awesome picture quality.

Great 4k TV for the price.

I needed to upgrade from a 1080P tv from 2014 and this vizio was just the right price for what I needed. I mostly use my tv for video games and movies/streaming and the picture quality is very good. Some of the coloring is a bit dark, but that is a simple settings fix if it is really troublesome. It has netflix, prime video, hulu, and other services which is a nice touch as well.
